I've had my gun since last august. I got right to work the day I bought it, taking apart the trigger group and figuring out how it worked. I did the auto bolt release modification. then found a great video regarding a working over and polishing whatnot of all the little bits in the trigger group. I found this to make a noticable improvment in the feel of the trigger and even the weight of the trigger pull, which felt as though is decreased a small amount. I've got some money set aside for this gun which happens to be the standard birch stocked carbine.

considering what I have done to my gun so far, would replacing the stock barrel with a Dlask barrel OR putting the money towards upgrading the trigger group with a slew of parts be a more effective step towards increasing the accuracy? I want to stay with the open sites.

the barrel I have my eye on is the Dlask factory contour 12.5 inch model, probably with the sporting chamber as opposed to the bentz match chamber because I really like CCI stingers and from everything I've read, they don't mix well with the bentz chamber.

I talked to Joe Dlask the other day about the Sporter Chamber. He told me that while it would be fine for CCI ammo it still would NOT be ok for stingers.
 
No need for a more accurate barrel if you are sticking with iron sights as your stock barrel is easily as accurate as that sighting system. I would spend the loot on the trigger though if you are at all handy you can get a great 2# trigger using stock parts and replacing the stock trigger return setup with a torsion spring trigger return.
